Although I have not read Premchand's work, your clear and poignant summary of his translated work took me right into his mind and how he sees things. Your precis, done to near perfection, of his work made me go and buy that book and breeze through its 500 pages, which I am going to do. I just finished the 1,000-page tome on Jefferson by Jon Meacham. He, too, has a gift of taking you right to Monticello as he describes TJ's adventures and life. Thanks for your generous gift, Kalpana!
